JIMMIE JOHNSON, NO. 48 ALLY CAMARO ZL1 – Finished 5th GREAT FINISH! "Yes, we are definitely moving in the right direction! Car was good in clean air and had a lot of speed in it, so I think we have found kind of center for our cars and what has to happen. It was a little evil in traffic, and I had a heck of a time on green flag restarts, but really worked hard to get it up underneath me and tightening the car up a little bit for us to race. Ended up having great pace and decent drivability, so are working in the right direction. I am just so proud of everybody on this Ally team. We've had a lot of pressure on us, and everyone has stepped up and getting it done."

Denny Hamlin overcame a pair of pit road penalties and the sweep-bound agenda of Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Kyle Busch to win the 23rd annual O'Reilly Auto Parts 500 Sunday at Texas Motor Speedway.

DANIEL SUAREZ, No. 41 Ruckus Ford Mustang – “I’m happy. The entire weekend was strong for us. We had the speed all weekend long. I feel like we had for sure a top five car and at times probably the best car out there on the long run. We were just trying to find the right balance back and forth, but I’m just very proud of everyone at Stewart-Haas Racing and Ford Performance, and especially from the 41 guys. They worked extremely hard to bring a good piece for Texas and we did it, so I’m grateful.”

Brad Keselowski was sidelined by an accident Saturday afternoon at Texas Motor Speedway, leaving the driver of the PIRTEK Ford Mustang with a 35th-place finish. Keselowski was racing for 11th position with Justin Haley on lap 65 when they made contact between Turns 1 and 2. The bump sent the No. 12 Ford Mustang into the outside wall, ending his afternoon early.

Kyle Busch positioned himself for another NASCAR tripleheader sweep Saturday afternoon with a workmanlike victory in the 23rd annual My Bariatric Solutions 300 at Texas Motor Speedway.

Supra driver Kyle Busch made his way to victory lane for the third time this season in the NASCAR Xfinity Series (NXS), winning Saturday afternoon’s race at Texas Motor Speedway.

“Not taking any tires was certainly a help. We jumped the field there and I was worried about the restart. I just didn’t think there was going to be enough grip. This car certainly had enough grip in it. I can’t thank iK9, the First Foundation – this Toyota Supra was awesome today. It was really fast."

CHASE BRISCOE, No. 98 Nutri Chomps Ford Mustang – YOU GET TO RUN FOR THE DASH FOR CASH NEXT WEEK AT BRISTOL. “Yeah, it’s gonna be pretty cool getting to race for $100,000. It’s not every day you get to do that, so I’m looking forward to it. I really feel like we should have been in Victory Lane if that caution didn’t come out. We were gonna be the only car able to go on fuel, so it seems that always happens in those situations, but I’m just really proud of all my Nutri Chomps guys. We were literally a 13th to 16th-place car all day long and just kept working on it and getting track position and was able to salvage a top five out of it. We just have to get better throughout the weekend, I’ve got to get better and I feel like once we put it all together we’re gonna be really hard to beat. We just have to get all the pieces together, so I’m looking forward to Bristol and hopefully win $100,000.”
